Every cell, virus, plant, or animal mutation or characteristic is explained by Natural Selection.
It’s almost like there is some motivation for it to make sure life exists and survives. But why do anything at all? If there is a God then it makes sense that it was put in place for life to exist but if there is no God then why don’t we just have a universe of non-living matter?
Where does that want come from? Why is there a want?
Natural selection, the beings that didn’t have that urge to survive didn’t reproduce and died 🤷
Because life couldn’t exist as we know it if there wasn’t an inherent desire to live. If living organisms didn’t have that inate drive to continue living, all species would become extinct before ever evolving.
Though I don’t have any actual knowledge in this area so who knows if I’m right. Just my assumptions!
That was an unfitting characterization.
Natural Selection does not care about wants. Natural Selection is the inherent and consequential process of selection.
Wants and reproduction are properties that influence natural selection - what is being naturally selected.
